Answers:
My braces just got tightened yesterday so I feel your pain!
Swish warm salt water around in your mouth, you'll be surprised, it helps.
Take a pain reliever that is not Tyelnol. If you take tylelnol for an extended period of time it could hurt your liver, take advil or another brand.
Get an EXTRA SOFT bristle toothbrush, when your teeth hurt a lot use it to GENTLY massage your gums using warm water.
Your gums will probably be a bit swolen, and your bite will change with every change they make to your braces. Your front teeth touching the bottom brackets could just be because of the change being made. You could call your orthodontist to ask, or you could simply wait it out a few days and see if it changes.
Sometimes it will feel like they've done more bad than good but trust me, it will sort itself out.
Oh, and braces wax is your new best friend!
Good Luck!
(1) be patient, the pain should go away quickly, and in the meantime just eat easy to eat foods, that's all
(2) if you do believe that there are mechanical problems such as the one you describe, then obviously you should tell your orthodontist asap. But unless he / she is incompetent, he / she would not have let you leave with such a big problem - so maybe you have not seen this properly
good luck
